[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had many 4 high schoolers and MS doesn’t prepare them well to study or write. [/quote]

Do you think the 2026 was worse off? I’m trying to distinguish what is normal versus this class where much if the MS experience (6-8) was during distance learning.[/quote]

Oh, FFS. "Much of?" No one was in distance learning for three years or anywhere approaching it.[/quote]

Why don't you know your audience before you make an insulting comment.  You are in the FCPS board.  MS here is only 7 & 8.  They only went half a year in 7th more or less.  If MS is to prepare you for the high school experience, then yes, they missed it.  My DC is in 10th and several of his teachers last year commented on how they could see them trying to catch up in maturity.  They essentially went from elementary school to figuring out how to switch classes and deal with 8 teachers and the pressure of a GPA without the two years practice in MS.  [/quote]

Correction.

7th grade for class of 2026 was not a half year.

The students returned mid March at only 2 days per week.  They had spring break a couple of weeks after they returned.   7th grade was less around 10-15% of a normal school year.[/quote]

7th grade was hybrid. Half or more of our MS was still at home. Everything went slower. Eighth grade tried to catch up but didn’t always succeed.[/quote]
